If you can't trust Quakers.............
you are a paranoid nazi.


Rumsfeld Spies on Quakers and Grannies

Not to trouble you or anything, but the next time you’re going to a protest, the eyes of the government may be upon you.

And I’m not just talking about local police filming your activity.

I’m not talking about the FBI under cover in your midst.

I’m talking about the Pentagon, too, getting into the act.

According to an MSNBC story on December 13, Rumsfeld’s Pentagon is tracking some of the most innocuous and lawful protests.

For instance, the Pentagon has a file on an anti-war group that was gathering at the Quaker Meeting House in Lake Worth, Florida, to plan a counter-recruiting effort at local high schools.

That group of Quakers constitutes a “threat,” according to a 400-page Pentagon document that MSNBC got hold of.

3. You ever been in a magnitude 8.4 earthquake?
Those quakers can cause widespread damage.

That's why we have the USGS.

So we can sleep at night. Safely. Without worrying about quakers.

Now give me them oats.

see them as people who are likely to make a radical exercise of Christian faith that takes them into the political arena, like the men who are being held hostage in Iraq.

Maybe the Pentagon's not so dumb as they appear.

They pray for peace and get exploited for instant oatmeal branding!
